One Piece: Burning the Prison Clothes in the Setting Sun, Mihawk is dumbfounded.

"Isn't that enough?"

Dunn gave this reply to Morgans's question.

After all, too much of a good thing can be bad. The Hunter's Guild has already made a name for itself enough.

Strength that surpasses others may inspire awe or admiration, but strength that far exceeds or even surpasses their imagination will instill fear.

In the future without him, Im chose to destroy the Kingdom of Lulusia with ancient weapons in order to intimidate the world.

His attack this time was somewhat less powerful, and it didn't cause a global upheaval or tsunami, but the result was actually about the same.

"At this critical moment, we must use any means necessary."

Morgans understood Dunn's meaning and tried to persuade him again.

"While there may be enough participants for the exam now, your goal is certainly not just to pass an exam; you need the huge impact the exam will have."

Morgans became more and more excited as he spoke.

He had only intended to persuade Dunn, and this was the reason he came up with, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized what was going on.

"If you want to create a force with influence comparable to, or even surpassing, the Marine Headquarters and the World Government, then you should agree even more."

"You know too much, Morgans."

As soon as Dunn spoke, the sound from the Den Den Mushi immediately disappeared.

"I was just saying, the initiative is still in your hands, I just feel sorry."

Morgans spoke again, his tone revealing a significant improvement in calm.

"Many people could have thought of what you're saying. If you want to report it, then report it."

After thinking for a moment, Dunn spoke.

Morgans was surprised by the unexpected turn of events; Dunn actually relented.

The Den Den Mushi was immediately hung up, seemingly out of concern that Dunn might change his mind again.

"Morgans has done his best during this period."

Morgans hung up, and Crocodile's voice came from outside. The shriveled Den Den Mushi had disappeared; it must have been handed over to someone else.

"He doesn't have many other options now."

"There aren't many options. The World Government has been eyeing Morgans for a long time, but the Hunter Guild's cooperation with the newspapers has made the World Government wary. However, Morgans has lost many of his information channels."

Crocodile began to speak.

"That's normal."

Dunn was not surprised by this situation.

Public opinion is a powerful force, and the World Government won't just hand everything over to Morgans, especially when Morgans is clearly trying to distance himself from the World Government.

"However, the situation is still good now. Morgans has managed to maintain quite a few channels, so any news they want to release can quickly spread throughout the world."

Crocodile kept his eyes fixed on Dunn as he spoke.

Although he couldn't sense the powerful aura emanating from Dunn, he could feel that Dunn was stronger than before.

"Okay, let's leave the Morgans matter for now. How did the exams go?"

Dunn waved his hand, got up, and walked to the spot where Crocodile had been sitting.

This is now considered a formal report.

Crocodile stepped forward and began to report on the current situation regarding the Hunter Exam.

The site has been built, the publicity and public opinion work has been done, several routes to the Sky Island have been opened, and the selection of candidates to take the exam is nearing completion.

"President, the most important thing now is, what if those who take the exam and pass don't want to join the guild, or still want to remain temporary members..."

Crocodile looked at Dunn's calm face, finished his report, and then spoke again, his tone tinged with worry.

"The rewards that are due should still be given..."

Dunn had also considered this possibility, so he gave a direct answer.

"But it's a Devil Fruit."

Crocodile was somewhat helpless upon hearing this.

"Those were all painstakingly collected by the guild. Although the quantity is not small, they are still quite precious, after all, they are treasures from the sea..."

Crocodile looked distressed.

The Hunter Exam has attracted so many people not only because of the influence of Dunn, but also because of the allure of Devil Fruits.

After all, among the legends about Dunn on the high seas, there is a saying that Dunn is so strong because he relies on the Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit).

If I could obtain a powerful fruit, I might become a strongman like Dunn.

Of course, people who think this way are unlikely to be top-tier in terms of ability or have such vision.

But importantly, most people in this world have never even gone to school, so naturally they don't have this kind of perspective.

"It doesn't matter, the guild won't lack Devil Fruits in the future."

Dunn shook his head.

Having mastered the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, Devil Fruits were no longer a rarity for Dunn.

It's true that Devil Fruits that aren't eaten are rare, but people who have eaten them are quite easy to find.

Moreover, after eating a Devil Fruit, one suddenly gains immense power, and since most Devil Fruit users aren't exactly good people, there's even less pressure.

"What do you mean?"

Crocodile was taken aback by what he heard.

Dunn raised his hand, and darkness spread from it.

"The Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit allows the user to extract Devil Fruits from their body."

Dunn didn't hide anything from his deputy and explained directly.

This short sentence left the crocodile dumbfounded.

"President, the Devil Fruit seems to be..." Crocodile's mind was a little confused.

"Yes, each person can only eat one, but that doesn't include me."

Dunn nodded.

"hiss!"

Crocodile tilted his head back slightly, his face unable to conceal his astonishment.

No wonder the president said there would be no shortage of Devil Fruits in the future.

This ability to take Devil Fruits from Devil Fruit users is too overpowered.

Furthermore, if the ability users handed over by the guild turn against the guild in the future, they can even take back the fruits.

"I'm fine now."

Crocodile remained silent for a while before nodding and speaking, his expression returning to calm.

"Where are Robin and the others?"

"Robin and Issho have returned to Paradise, but they didn't stop at Sabaody Archipelago. They're heading to Skypiea now. Boa Hancock from Amazon Lily is also on her way to Skypiea with Rayleigh. Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon."

Dunn nodded slightly.

"Is the guild master going to Skypiea to wait in advance? The sudden appearance of Whitebeard and his group on Skypiea has caused quite a stir. Hawkeye even went to see Whitebeard."

"Oh?"

Dunn was taken aback, then his interest was piqued.

"How is the situation?"

"Hawkeye lost, and suffered a significant loss."

Crocodile was amused when he first heard this.

Hawkeye is usually incredibly aloof, but just thinking about getting beaten up by Whitebeard makes him want to laugh.

However, remembering that he had also been beaten up by Whitebeard, Crocodile's smile turned down again.

The eldest brother doesn't laugh at the second brother.

"Yes, someone definitely needs to be in charge."

Dunn nodded.

"Enel would be more than willing to oversee things from there."

Crocodile responded after hearing Dunn's words.

"Yeah, Enel is really fast." Dunn nodded.

Although not as fast as the Door-Door Fruit, Enel's speed, if you disregard the Door-Door Fruit, is not slower than his speed with the Flame-Flame Fruit.

"So, before that, would you like to go there again and remind them not to cause trouble?"

Crocodile said, pointing in a direction.

The direction of the red earth continent.

"That's not necessary."

Dunn knew he was referring to Mary Geoise, and then shook his head.

"Did you warn me?"

Crocodile, seeing this, inquired.

"No, even if we send warnings, they will still cause trouble. They might even attack the entire Sky Island."

"What?"

Crocodile was startled by what he heard, then pondered for a moment.

"Indeed, if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to act sooner?"

The Sky Island is still floating in the sky, perfectly fine.

"There's no point in taking action now. Even if the Sky Island is gone, we can always continue elsewhere in the future."

Dunn smiled.

"I understand now," Crocodile said, suddenly realizing, "They want to take advantage of the people taking the exam going to Skypiea, and then attack Skypiea."

Those who take the exam will be considered potential core members of the Hunter's Guild. If they can shoot down the Sky Island, the casualties will be countless. Combined with the official members of the Hunter's Guild, this will significantly weaken the Hunter's Guild.

"More or less, but not necessarily. They might not dare to do that."

Dunn waved his hand.

Who knows if the World Government has the guts to do it now? After all, everyone knows that if they do this, they will definitely retaliate, and Mary Geoise might disappear completely like Skypiea.

Mary Geoise is also a symbol of the World Government. Although it has been repeatedly attacked by Dunn, as long as it is still there, it represents the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

If it were completely destroyed, the world government's deterrent power over the ocean would plummet.

"Is there anyone who needs special attention this time?"

Dunn asked again.

"Yes, quite a few. Besides those who were already famous on the sea, there are quite a few others."

Crocodile also found this incredible.

Tell me about it.

Upon hearing this, Dunn gestured, also wanting to know if there were any acquaintances inside.

"Leaving aside the Grand Line, there are many powerful individuals hiding their identities in the four seas alone, many of whom are not even well-known in their own countries."

"In the West Blue, there is a young man who has mastered a peculiar ability, a power he calls Nen. This is a power that is different from Devil Fruits and Haki. It is said that he has been trying to teach others, but there is no news of his success yet."

"read?"

Dunn was taken aback for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

"President?"

Noticing the change in Dunn's expression, Crocodile was first taken aback, then seemed to realize something.

"President, could it be...?"

"That's probably true."

Dunn nodded.

However, since the other party is here, judging from Crocodile's words, the other party probably entered by mistake and is now stuck in this world.

"You want me to send someone to...?"

"No need!"

Dunn waved his hand.

"We'll see more of them eventually. Are there any others? Especially those with special abilities, like Shikai or ninjutsu."

"?"

Crocodile looked puzzled.

"Or something like qi (vital energy)."

Dunn asked again.

There is no news on that at the moment.

Crocodile shook his head, but he took Dunn's words to heart and prepared to send someone to investigate. For the chairman to ask about it personally, it must be some kind of extraordinary power.

"How's Straw Hat Boy doing?"

"Same as always, he's with a guy named Ace right now. The two seem to be brothers, causing chaos on the Sky Island. If it weren't for your orders, guild leader, I would have had them thrown off the Sky Island long ago."

Crocodile shook his head at this.

"Have you caused a huge mess?"

Dunn asked.

"There haven't been any major troubles, but there have been constant minor ones. And these two seem to be the kind of people who cause trouble no matter where they go. Recently, they seem to have gotten into a fight with Whitebeard."

However, this time it was caused by that guy named Ace who started it.

Upon hearing this, Dunn's lips twitched.

He captured Whitebeard, and Ace was being chased by the Hunter Guild, yet they still managed to get together.

Is Ace destined to be Whitebeard's son?

"This guy named Ace..."

Crocodile looked at Dunn and thought of the news he had received earlier: the guild master's junior brothers and sisters had hunted down this guy, but had not actually captured him.

"Roger's son."

???

A look of confusion flashed across Crocodile's face; Dunn's words momentarily stunned him.

"You mean, Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King? The one who was killed in Loguetown?"

Crocodile asked the question with some uncertainty.

"Besides him, is there another Roger whose name I can remember?"

Dunn glanced at Crocodile, his tone somewhat strange.

"That's really..."

Crocodile opened his mouth, finding it utterly unbelievable.

"Straw Hat Boy is also Garp's grandson..." Dunn began.

"I know that..."

Crocodile nodded repeatedly.

But then he frowned.

"Are the grandson of Marine hero Garp and the son of the Pirate King brothers?"

Crocodile's eyes widened again, but then it dawned on him, "Wait, it was Garp who did it."

"Hmm, you're quick to come up with ideas."

"Is that really so, President? How did you know about this? It must be a secret."

Crocodile looked at Dunn with a puzzled expression.

He knew that after the Pirate King died, the World Government seemed to have caused quite a stir by investigating the Pirate King's descendants.

As a result, the World Government didn't gain much; instead, Garp managed to hide the person.

But this way, it will definitely be a secret, and probably only a handful of people will know about it.

Crocodile looked at Dunn.

If this president really comes from another world, why does he know so much?

"Not only do I know these things, I also know that you used to be a woman."

Dunn stared at Crocodile as he spoke.

Crocodile's body jolted, his eyes widened, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"President, you're joking. How could I possibly be a woman?"
